Call for Papers: Functional neurosurgery in children

Submission deadline: May 30, 2025

Functional neurosurgery in the pediatric population is a rapidly evolving field with unique challenges, especially given the complexity of neurological development and the potential impact on quality of life. This edition of APN seeks to explore various aspects of this specialty, including patient selection, perioperative care, relevant anatomy, surgical techniques, management of potential complications, and other critical considerations unique to functional neurosurgery in children. These procedures are essential for treating conditions such as epilepsy, movement disorders, spasticity, and dystonia, among others. We look forward to your valuable contribution to this important discussion. 

Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery welcomes the submission of manuscripts in these and other areas. Topics of interest include preclinical studies, clinical research, prehospital management, imaging, and others. 

Articles should be prepared in compliance with Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery  Instructions for Authors and submitted through the journal's Editorial Manager submission portal.

Please be sure to indicate in your cover letter that you are submitting in reply to this Call for Papers. Pre-submission approval via a proposal is not required.
